NFL Week 13 Snap Counts

Week 13 Snap Counts

Below are week 13 snap counts with week 14 opponents, salaries and projections

RB Snap Counts

Lamar Miller: Generally, it gives me warm and fuzzies having someone in a Monday night game. I'm just not thrilled this week with Lamar Miller. I know Miami is dedicated to running the ball now. I know the Giants are middle of the road in giving up fantasy points to RBs. However, I do believe strongly in the ebb and flow of offensive/defensive highs and lows. The Giants may give up the 11th most fantasy points to RBs but lately, they havent really given up enough. The Jets couldn't notch 100 yards against them. Redskins couldn't notch a TD or heck, not even 15 FPs. New England did get a TD but only 68 yards and Tampa Bay may have got 112 yards on them but somehow only notched 7 FPs against them (ESPN doesn't count PPR). Giants have only given up 6 rushing TDs this year and 4 receiving TDs to RBs.

Jonathan Stewart: I feel like he is on my list every week. DraftKings seems to have a personal grudge against him. He has now had 8 straight games with 20+ carries and for only $5800 I can justify using him often. Falcons have given up monstrous yardage to RBs the past 2 games. Im satisfied with Stewart getting me 15 FPs but he always has the chance for that 2nd TD putting him at 20-25+.

Devonta Freeman: Probably the hottest RB early this season has turned lukewarm. I do not like this matchup and its obvious why. Panthers have a way of controlling the tempo of the game and their defense has been great. Ill pass this week.

Doug Martin: Saints have had literally no improvement defending anything since their bye week giving up 2 TDs and 276 rushing yards. Martin is a staple this week for me.

DeAngelo Williams: Yes I am a homer. Ignore that. Here are some numbers- 64, 29, 74, 69, 38. Those are rushing yards AGAINST the Bengals the past 5 games. Here is one more number...0. Guess how many rushing TDs vs Cinci in the past 6 games?

WR Snap Counts

Sammy Watkins: Eagles have been grounded on defense lately giving up huge receptions and yardage to opposing WRs. My major concern is Tyrods ability to almost forget Sammy is even playing. I like Sammy for tournaments this week.

Doug Baldwin: Remember the ebb and flow discussion earlier? Seattle has proven they can compete in the long stretch of the season and with Wilson/Baldwin revival, I can jump on board. The matchup looks great and with Graham done, Baldwin seems to get the TD targets.

Michael Crabtree/Amari Cooper: We know what to do with anyone facing the Broncos. Just avoid them like the plague. Interesting stat- According to ESPN (non-PPR) Broncos give up the LEAST fantasy points per game. How many exactly? 9.6 *Jaw Drops*

TE Snap Count

Tyler Eifert: He had a limited practice Wednesday which is some good news. He also has a good matchup vs. Pittsburgh. The O/U on this game is 49 points projecting Bengals 27- Steelers 24. If the Bengals score 27+, Eifert will certainly have one of those TDs.

Greg Olsen: I almost think he has to be used in every lineup week after week. Falcons aren't especially bad against TEs but he gets you 12-15 points a game- WITHOUT a TD. When he scores a TD he is getting you more points. He just seems the most consistent. It may be tough to squeeze him into lineups as cheap RBs this week arent in abundance (at least not against favorable matchups) but he usually ends up worth it.

Whoa, the 49ers gave Shaun Draughn a breather last week? Crazy. Ha. I love that snap percentage for Olsen, and it adds to the appeal of paying up for him again this week. I like David Johnson a lot in the Thursday night contests, unfortunately, those players always get a bump in ownership percentage due to degenerates who merely need action. As much as I love Johnson, if I play in the Thursday contest, it will be to fade both teams, and since the Cardinals can burn those who do that, I'll pass on playing in contests tonight.
